## Objectives ##
3+
This document covers the social media guidelines for the use of the CNCF Twitter channel and the CNCF project Twitter channels.
4+
5+
CNCF manages multiple project handles. These guidelines apply to all CNCF project channels, regardless of who manages.

## CNCF Project Twitter handles
8+
### Objectives
9+
The objectives of project social media:
10+
* Share project news, roadmap updates, news releases
11+
* Report on performance and security updates
12+
* Educate on project updates
13+
* Share information on how-tos, demos, etc that are valuable to the community
14+
* Build awareness for the project
15+
* Drive engagement and participate in the project
16+
17+
18+
### Strategy and Guidelines
19+
Keep messages positive and uplifting, consistent with the values and principles of CNCF
20+
Communicate big picture ideas vs “announcements” or news. News will be positioned less like an announcement and more around what it means.
21+
Share content across social media channels that benefit the ecosystem as a whole
22+
Share vendor-neutral, community-sourced posts that are informational, engaging, and ecosystem-focused
23+
Engage with the community through retweets and sharing of community content.
24+
Ecosystem content is vendor-neutral and project-impartial sourced from contributors, maintainers, ambassadors, news outlets, etc., including blog posts, news coverage, thought leadership bylines, technology demos, sketch notes, GitHub work, cloud native-specific Meetups, etc.
25+
CNCF is not able to share anything on our channels that promotes a vendor product or directs to a company website.
26+
Social posts from member company handles and/or vendor channels cannot be shared.
27+
RTs are limited to news outlet handles, project handles + personal handles.
28+
Community content that abides by the channel guidelines + includes insight from/work with more than one CNCF project will be prioritized for sharing.
29+
Activities that are hosted by and open to the public can be promoted, as they benefit the ecosystem as a whole.
30+
31+
### Images & Videos
32+
Images shared, unless specifically credited back to a community member, will meet the requirements of “free for commercial use” and “no attribution required.”
